Looking out of the window,
On a hot summer day,
Cloudless skies,
Hot air all around.
As though it heard me,
The sky opens up,
Pouring down, onto the streets.
Joy of watching, the falling droplets,
Experience of getting wet in the first rain,
Sharing a cup of tea with the beloved.
Left me spellbound.

Some days back I had written about why I like rain so much, today as I woke up from my afternoon nap and started to look out, suddenly it began to pour hard, what a relief it was from the hot sun, and more importantly just the feeling of the first rain left me spellbound.
The topic over at writer’s island is “Spellbound”. Here’s my attempt.

Today Bangalore enjoyed one of the best weather days, it was cool and cloudy and was almost anytime rain kind of weather. It may sound a little suprising to like a gloomy day, but thats how I am. After an awesome day I decided to make a list of 10 things I like about the rain.
- The time leading upto the rain, the dark clouds, the cool breeze, with a little rain in the air.
- The smell of the soil, when its hot and the first spell of drops hits the ground.
- The small veins of water that trickles down my window pane.
- A cup of hot coffee along with fried potatoes and of course the mirchi bonda. [A spicy snack made out of chili].
- The color of the sky when the rain is very heavy, its brighter close by, but a look far away gives you this deep dark grey.
- A look out of my open window, opening into the rain, with every breeze wetting a part of my shirt.
- The colorful umbrellas that are out on the road, also people who don’t care about rain and walk getting fully drenched.
- The candle light because of no power, darkness at home and people close to me to chat with.
- The day after the rain, just the breeze and the slightly wet roads, and the dim light, awesome weather
- The blind faith, faith in the rain gods, that its going to rain again, everyday.
